Why are the G4 trying to ride the AAC's coattails to success
I keep seeing in posts how the AAC being 3-0 in major bowls as somehow helping the G4. How does this help the G4 in any way? It helps the AAC, but how does that help a conference who has never won anything?

I like the cross rivalry smack talk between conferences more then anything but on a serious note such as this we should put aside the petty talk and find a way to make a change.

They're banking on it leading to an 8 team playoff with a non-cartel auto-bid. That way the MWC/MAC/CUSA/SunBelt may earn a playoff auto-bid once every decade.

This is where I don't see why the management is not taking advantage of this. I see the need for distancing ourselves from the other G5 but when your paying people 6 figures they should find a way to work with others for your benefit.

RE: Why are the G4 trying to ride the AAC's coattails to success
If you want the playoffs expanded, Aresco is going to have to build bridges and work with the "G4" conferences rather than running around with all the "Power 6" campaign. Complaining about being left out of the CFP while the Big Ten and Pac-12 aren't just undermines the whole Power 6 campaign and doesn't do the AAC or the "G4" any good.
That does not mean that we have to pretend like all of the G5 conferences are equal, BTW.

Why? A united non-cartel has no control/sway in legislation.

When has USF won anything relevant? The OG's of the G5 right now are in Orlando, not Tampa. You aren't helping the G5, your conference or your own school by making these statements. You are trying to ride your big brothers coattails and you don't even know how to do that.

Sunbelt conference has the best bowl win percentage (0.727) among all FBS conferences last 2 years. What else you want from us?

I wanted to answer this question, so I went and took a look at the bowl results. But then I couldn't figure out which teams were Sun Belt and which were CUSA. And then I realized I didn't care. Congrats on knocking off North Texas in a bowl game. Unless, of course, North Texas is a Sun Belt team. In that case, my condolences for the loss.

Same reason the rest of the AAC is trying to ride UCF's coattails. Because they can.

RE: Why are the G4 trying to ride the AAC's coattails to success
I'd say its more strength in numbers when it comes to the large questions of college post season structure.
The AACs success pushes the argument for more.
But its not the AAC alone with success. Boise, FAU and App State all kicked but in bowl games. As a unit they deserve more.

that's ok. It probably has to do with geography. I live in the Southeast. I'm not sure which teams belong to BIG10, BIG12, PAC12, MAC, and MWC. To borrow your words, I honestly don't care either. I'm familiar with some AAC and CUSA teams because they are close to Atlanta.
North Texas is CUSA. Troy, a fellow Sunbelt team, kicked their azz.

I'm not sure why the MAC is so difficult to remember. Purdue dominates that conference.

When has USF won anything relevant? The OG's of the G5 right now are in Orlando, not Tampa. You aren't helping the G5, your conference or your own school by making these statements. You are trying to ride your big brothers coattails and you don't even know how to do that.
All AAC members are entitled to make statements to help the cause USF is no different.
Oh and all AAC accomplishments and goals are specifically only for this league.

lol... usf beat an sec team in a bowl last year, and a b12 team in a bowl this year... we are doing our share. we all cant win the NC like ucf did...
BUT if you read the OP again, carefulky, the discussion is about CONFERENCES. Not schools. you had to make it about usf because your conference is... lol
